Part of the reason our Clarkson, Hammond and May were so good at their jobs was that combined, they have an uncanny ability to mix a love and knowledge of cars with the interpersonal skills of an A-list actor. Put short, they know how to build momentum to tell an exciting story. We have to give them credit for this latest clip, which only lasts 32 seconds but gives us just enough material to get a taste of the new show and leave us waiting for the first episode to be released.

Of course the other purpose of the clip is to confirm that the three still know how to break the rules accordingly, which they do by damaging a rented Range Rover.
